Drain Cleaning Services We Offer To Clear Clogged Drains
Stubbornly clogged drains can be an absolute nuisance. Oftentimes, it’s best to hire a professional to eradicate your drain blockages. The team at Basin Plumbing provides the following services for drain cleaning in Odessa, TX, and Midland, TX.
Kitchen Drains
Grease, food, and soap buildup cleared with professional equipment. We’ll have your kitchen sink flowing freely.
Bathroom Drains
Hair, soap scum, and toothpaste clogs in sinks, showers, and tubs. We’ve seen it all—and cleared it all.
Toilet Clogs
From simple blockages to objects lodged in the trap, we clear toilets without damaging your fixture.
Main Sewer Line
When multiple drains are slow, the main line is usually the culprit. We clear it and show you what’s causing the problem.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water that scours pipe walls clean. The most thorough cleaning method available.
Video Inspection
We send a camera down your drain to see exactly what’s happening. No guessing, no unnecessary work.
Why Store-Bought Drain Cleaners Don’t Work
Here’s what happens when you pour chemical drain cleaner down a slow drain: it sits on top of the clog, burns through some of the gunk, creates a small hole, and the rest hardens into an even worse blockage.
We see it all the time: homeowners who’ve been fighting the same drain for months with Drano, only to call us when it finally stops completely. By then, the chemical damage to their pipes makes the repair more expensive.
Professional drain cleaning actually removes the entire clog and cleans the pipe walls. That’s why our results last and chemical cleaners don’t.

When to Call a Professional
The following are signs you need a plumber for drain cleaning in Midland or Odessa, TX.
Multiple Slow Drains
When more than one drain is slow, the problem is in your main line—not individual fixtures. This needs professional clearing.
Recurring Clogs
If you’re clearing the same drain repeatedly, there’s a deeper issue. We’ll find out what’s really going on.
Gurgling Sounds
Bubbling or gurgling from drains indicates a venting problem or significant blockage that needs attention.

Sewer smells mean something is wrong—either a dry trap or a blockage causing backup. Don’t ignore this.

Water coming up in one drain when you use another is a main line problem. This won’t fix itself.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
Common questions about our services for drain cleaning in Odessa and Midland, TX.
How often should I have drains professionally cleaned?
For most homes, annual cleaning prevents problems. If you have older pipes, lots of trees near your sewer line, or heavy usage, every 6 months is better.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when done by professionals who adjust pressure for your pipe type and condition. We always camera inspect first to make sure hydro jetting is appropriate.
Can drain cleaning damage my pipes?
Professional mechanical cleaning and hydro jetting won’t damage pipes. Chemical cleaners, however, can corrode pipes—especially older ones.
What’s included in a camera inspection?
We insert a waterproof camera to see your entire drain line. You’ll see the video with us and we’ll explain exactly what we find. We can also provide a recording for your records.
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?
